softlayer api：复制OS图像跨IDC时如何获取状态（完成或处理中）？

Question

When I call SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest_Block_Device_Template_Group:addLocations to copy private image_A cross IDC , this function returns True immediately. So it is known that the operation is asynchronous.

The question is how can I know that this async operation is finished, namely image_A is already finished copy to the target IDC ?

I have found the api:

SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest_Block_Device_Template_Group:getTransaction() , but this one always returns an empty str??What the hell ~ ~ ~

Answer 1

You need to make the following call

https://$user:$apiKey@api.softlayer.com/rest/v3.1/SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest_Block_Device_Template_Group/$templateGroupId/getChildren?objectMask=mask[transaction]

Method: Get

Replace: $user , $apiKey and $templateGroupId

You need to verify that the children (image template groups that are clones of an image template group) have no any pending or current transaction. In case that there is one or more transactions, you will not able to add/remove locations until this finishes.
